Limited professionalism

Attorney Teeter presents himself as a "kind hearted" attorney. However, once contracted as a client, I began feeling treated like a paralegal. I was doing multiple errands, compiling case deciding documents, and even negotiated my case settlement meetings. Jim would "snap" and yell at me often and un...expectedly when I assumed he was stressed or aggravated with the case. I observed him once "shaking" as we stood before the judge as the opposing attorney was attacking his legal professionalism. He made sure to consistently send me legal bills, but who wouldn't. However, in my case, I feel he did not deserve his pay.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
